Continuing the series even though I wasn‘t a fan of the first. But it‘s free on audible

I have been meaning to read the Sookie Stackhouse novels for years and enjoyed the first several seasons of True Blood (especially Alexander Skarsgard 😂). Maybe next Scarathlon I will finally take the plunge! #scarathlonphotochallenge #coffin #blackcatcrew

BookwormAHN I've read the first few and they were good. And so was the show if you discount that last season 😸 6mo
BeckyWithTheGoodBooks @bookwormahn I heard the show went off the rails at the end. That happens a lot!! 6mo
LibrarianRyan Loved the show but couldn‘t get into the books. My friend was the opposite. 6mo

Finished the 2nd book today in my Sookie Stackhouse reread. I like the set up in this book way more than what the tv show did with this storyline. With the exception of Lafayette, because I like him in the tv show. I didn‘t remember much about the book, but I‘m enjoying my reread and these are good on audio.

Started the Sookie Stackhouse books last week! I‘ve been having a fun time reading the first two. I like how true to the book the first few episodes of True Blood were. I‘m hoping the books get better because I hated the ending of True Blood. #paperback #library #bookstotv #trueblood #sookiestackhouse #charlaineharris

SillyLilNillyy Officially just picked up on the 2nd, Living dead in Dallas. Have you started the next? 2y
SpookyDonut I‘m on the 5th book but got distracted by other things and haven‘t finished it. I love these books though. I feel like there‘s so much missing from the show and so many differences. 2y

This series is a little weird. This book contains some interesting mythology but its description is very shallow. It can be an interesting read.

Classic vampire trash 🧛 Can‘t help but love it.

BookBoggart I just finished binge watching the whole series! So upset that they are in the works to reboot it with the creator of Riverdale bleh. Plus who else is gonna be able to play Eric Northman?! 3y
MollyLooby @BookBoggart I know! He was the perfect Eric! Its weird to me that they‘re rebooting it when it hasn‘t been that long since the original run finished 🤷‍♀️ 3y
BookBoggart Right?! They are that hurtin for content apparently. Also the actor who played Lafayette passed away. Unless they go more towards the books even then though I don't see the point. Sookie might suck less? Lol 3y
MollyLooby @BookBoggart Haha, yeah 🤣 The actor who played Lafayette was so good they didn‘t kill him off when he dies in the books, and I think that‘s a testament to how loveable he made that character. It won‘t be the same without him 3y

I‘ve got a few books on the go atm but with all the COVID upheaval & uncertainty, I‘ve been struggling to concentrate. So I decided to re-read this, the 2nd book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries. I find these such easy reads & enjoy the way Harris describes mundane tasks in Sookie‘s life, like choosing her outfits or doing housework, it‘s oddly comforting.
Hopefully I can finish the other books this week, I hate leaving books half read!

Day 3-I‘ve read this series and watched the show. It‘s a fun series, with some inconsistencies that bug me if I read them back to back. Bill and Sookie travel to Dallas, and the reader finds out vampires use a coffin travel service. #scarathlon #chillingphotochallenge #teamslaughter @Clwojick

Clwojick I still have to read these! i finally managed to get my hands on the fist of the series. 4y
Scochrane26 @Clwojick they‘re very quick reads. A good series for when you want comfort & light reading. 4y

Just sitting here in my puppy-fur covered leggings, enjoying this Sookie Stackhouse novel. I read this one years ago and never continued on with the series. At first, I felt the story was a little slow, but it‘s starting to pick up now. And I don‘t remember as much from this one as I did rereading the first. So it‘s almost new to me again.

I was kind of disappoint d that Lafayette was killed off in this book. I liked that character. But the book was really good and it was good to meet new characters and enemies as well as creatures. Read back in 2011

Started reading the second installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series.

I also started to rewatch True Blood to compare haha

This is probably one of my biggest guilty pleasures and thought this time of year is perfect for a Charlaine Harris read.

What are your favorite Halloween books?

Enjoying my series reread. I didn‘t remember how little we get of Lafayette from my first time through, so that made me sad. I was irritated with how that story got sidelined for the vamp business, but it got tied up well.

I never really understood Bill‘s allure, as I find him high-handed and petty. But Eric sure is fun.

ladym30 Love this series❤️ 6y
EclecticBookLover I totally agree with you about Bill. Eric was always more entertaining. 6y

#HeyJune #day4 #IWantToHoldYourHand Oh Eric Northman. I want to hold your hand and any other part of your body.☺️ I loved Book Eric but Alexander Skarsgard portrayal of him on True Blood was just fantastic. He gave him that sarcastic, funny edge without ever losing sight of the monster underneath, he also captured Eric‘s occasional sentimentality & wistfulness. He can bite me anytime😉🧛🏻‍♂️❤️🖤❤️

I absolutely love Charlaine Harris and the Southern Vampire Series. Ms. Harris is funny but intense. She is creative but real. The book was easy to read, it was short but exciting at the same time. The characters are absolutely lovable. I find myself rooting for Sookie and Bill. The only problem I have with the book was the orgy thing. It was gross. ;p

I will definitely pick up the next book in the series!

#UncannyOctober #day17 #ACityInTheTitle This is the 2nd book in the Sookie Stackhouse series, the book where she meets Eric for the first time. I really enjoyed this series for the first 2/3 of the series, the last few were a bit tired though still enjoyable. The Sookie/Bill/Eric triangle is one of the few triangles in fiction that I liked reading about.
